Who can resist? Not I… Thank you, Sammi for hosting this weekly party.
A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in the comments.

Much appreciated. One of those that I thought… do I dare? Then said. Why the hell not?
Good. Mind you, I don’t know how much I would really care.

Dare, because there’s no reason not to. And besides, hell is a spare involvement from the vantage point of our shoes.
I forget what I said to elicit that response, but I nod my head in agreement. Because of course.

Writing is like jumping out of an airplane. You might damn well miss the landing, but either way, there’s an interesting story to be had.
I’m into shoes right now with my writing. Okay, NOT that way. Let the record state that I have never, ever found a shoe sexy.
Gracias amiga!

At least one hopes there is. But If you don’t jump, then for sure there is nothing.
Shoes, eh? Interesting…
But, umm. Never? Puhleeze.

The words need something to land on, indeed.
Shoes, they must be comfortable ones. It’s a spiritual commentary, believe me.

Dear Rochelle,
Same here. It’s funny how certain character traits seem to go with certain signs.
I like to pretend I am, anyway! 😁
